Understanding Thor's Enhanced Games Protocol: A Deep Dive into Steroid Use

In the ever-evolving world of competitive sports, the Enhanced Games have sparked considerable debate regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). In a revealing video, Coach Craig discusses the steroids used by Thor, the World's Strongest Man, during the Enhanced Games, and why these choices may have impacted his performance.

The Reality of Performance-Enhancing Drugs in Competition

Initially, the Enhanced Games were perceived as a platform where athletes could use any performance-enhancing substances they desired. However, as Thor discovered, only FDA-approved steroids were permissible. This meant that substances he had relied on in the past, such as Trenbolone and Dianabol, were off the table.

Thor's Steroid Protocol

During the Enhanced Games, Thor revealed his steroid use, which included:

Testosterone
Deca-Durabolin (Deca)
Turinabol
Anadrol
Small amounts of Halotestin

Despite this select use of steroids, Coach Craig argues that Thor's performance was likely hindered by the inability to use more potent compounds like Trenbolone, which could have made a significant difference in his strength and lifting capacity.

The Limitations of the Enhanced Games

Coach Craig emphasizes that the regulations surrounding the Enhanced Games were somewhat misleading. Athletes were led to believe they could take whatever they wanted, but in reality, they were bound by strict guidelines that limited their options. This restriction could potentially skew competitive fairness, especially when elite athletes are accustomed to specific cycles that maximize their performance.

The Implications of FDA Approval

The distinction between FDA-approved substances and those banned raises questions about the safety and ethics of the Enhanced Games. Coach Craig points out that just because a steroid is FDA-approved does not mean it is safe for athletes. For example, while Halotestin is allowed, it poses significant health risks, including liver toxicity.

Conclusion: A Call for Transparency and Fairness

Ultimately, Coach Craig advocates for a more transparent approach to the Enhanced Games. If the goal is to allow athletes to enhance their performance, then the regulations should reflect that reality. By limiting the substances available, the Enhanced Games may inadvertently create an uneven playing field.

As the conversation continues around performance enhancement in sports, it’s crucial for athletes and fans alike to understand the implications of these regulations on competition and health.
